Description of key information
ASC plus is regarded as not irritating to eyes and skin based on available studies. Based on the available eye/ mucous membrane irritation study on Rabbits it is likely that the substance has no irritation potential to the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract.

- Executive summary:
BECROSAN 2128.5 is a marketed product containing ca. 75 % 6-[[(4-Methylphenyl)sulfonyl]amino]hexanoic acid (CAS 78521-39-8, EC 278-934-5) and ca. 25 % water. This substance was administered to the eyes of 3 healthy New Zealand White rabbits (2 males - 1 female). 0.1 ml of the test article was placed into the conjunctival sac of on eye of each rabbit. There were no corneal opacity or iritis noted at any observation point (1, 24, 48 and 72 hours post dose). Ocular application of the test article produced a conjunctival irritation which cleared within 72 hours. It is assumed that the same results hold true for the water free substance (as registered). As the water free substance is not marketed the evaluation of the marketed product with respect to eye irritation/ mucous membrane irritation potential is the more relevant in the context of hazard assessment.
Interpretation of results: The test article as well as the water free registered substance 6-[[(4-Methylphenyl)sulfonyl]amino]hexanoic acid) is regarded as not irritating.
